    We bring bold, culturally relevant restaurant concepts to life—combining innovation, operational excellence, and genuine hospitality. Our brands thrive at the intersection of creativity and community, and we believe exceptional leadership is the heartbeat of a successful operation.

    As we prepare to open KoHo and Wu‑Tang Kitchen in the Atlanta, GA market, we are seeking a dynamic and experienced Executive Chef & General Manager to lead this exciting new chapter.

    Position Summary

    This is a dual‑role leadership position that blends the culinary expertise of an Executive Chef with the operational oversight of a General Manager. The Executive Chef & General Manager will assume full store ownership, overseeing menu innovation, kitchen operations, front‑of‑house execution, team management, financial performance, and guest experience across two distinct restaurant concepts.

    This role is ideal for a high-energy, hands‑on operator with deep culinary roots, strong business acumen, and a passion for team development. You will play a central role in launching, shaping, and scaling both concepts in the Atlanta market.

    • Implement performance reviews, recognition programs, and succession planning
    • Mentor team members for internal career progression

    Financial & Strategic Management

    • Full responsibility for store-level financial performance: revenue, profitability, EBITDA
    • Partner with leadership to forecast, set goals, and plan long-term strategy
    • Use POS, inventory, and labor systems to guide business decisions
    • Implement cost control measures and operational efficiencies
    • Review budgets, analyze variances, and execute improvement plans

    Knowledge, Skills & Abilities

    • Strong leadership and coaching abilities; builds high-performing, diverse teams
    • Culinary creativity paired with disciplined kitchen execution
    • Deep understanding of FOH/BOH operations and hospitality best practices
    • Financial literacy: labor, COGS, P&L management, and budgeting
    • Guest-centric mindset with a passion for exceptional service
    • Ability to adapt quickly and make data-informed decisions
    • Commitment to compliance across food safety, labor law, and health regulations

    Performance Metrics

    • EBITDA & net profitability
    • Food Cost % & Labor %
    • Employee turnover & retention
    • Guest satisfaction & reviews
    • Training completion rates
    • Health inspection & audit scores
